    You need to post the exact commands for us to even begin to diagnose the problem. Usually with modprobe, the error results because you tried to use the entire name including the .ko extension.

    see the output of both "modprobe and insmod"

    [root@localhost 2.6.26]# modprobe atl2
    FATAL: Module atl2 not found.
    [root@localhost 2.6.26]# insmod atl2.ko
    [root@localhost 2.6.26]#
    Thanks in advance...

    Have you tried using the /path/to/atl2
    modprobe /path/to/atl2

    I'm sorry, I meant for you to substitute the actual path to the module on your system. I used the above example because I do not know where you have the file stored.
    so susbstitute /path/to/atl2 with the actual path on your system.

    I suppose you could do it this way. Issue these commands as root.
    Code:
    updatedb
    Code:
    locate atl2 |more
    This should tell you the path of the file. Is this a module that you built? Which Ethernet card do you have? Please post the output of this command too
    Code:
    lspci |grep net
